5 Artisanal Mixers for “Crafty” Holiday Cocktails

From doughnuts to dog food we officially live in a world where almost everything has been slapped with the “artisanal” tag. And you know what? That’s a pretty awesome problem to have, especially when it comes to the drinks department. Here are five small-batch makers that stand out of the crowd and can help you craft a holiday cocktail that will get your guests talking.

1. P&H Soda Co. // Sarsaparilla Syrup – Brooklyn, NY ($12): Commonly referred to as the “original” Root Beer, try introducing the float to adulthood by filling a frosted mug with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Sarsaparilla and an ounce of Bourbon.

5. Liber & Co. // Texas Grapefruit Shrub // Austin, TX ($13): A couple Texan boys paid tribute to their hometown grown Rio Star grapefruit with this lively mixer. Why go to mexico when you can bring it home to your holiday party? Try it with tequila in this south of the border inspired cocktail.
